- A couple of last minute reminders about this assignment. Recall that in the Prospectus, you are formulating an argument borrowed or revised from critics' arguments. (You have surveyed the criticism, and are describing the consensus of critical opinion with respect to a particular thematic or formal issue.) Therefore, you might want your argument to read something like, "Critical opinion has agreed that Joseph Conrad's novel, Heart of Darkness, expresses racist and sexist attitudes, but most critics agree that the novel should continue to be read as long as these attitudes are acknowledged and discussed."
